Short On Ideas
Less Than Jake · Pezcore [1994]
Have you been feeling down, pushed around
feeling like everything's been done before
do I need to understand every word from every man
or everything from every band
Chorus:
Can I say it's all been done before
religion, science, similes to metaphors
can it be that there's nothing new
when there's more ways of looking at the truth
of looking at the truth
The more it seems they've changed
the more they just stay the same
but now it's called a different name
can you say that things are new
when you look at magazines
and things you've seen, yeah, in the news
(Chorus)
